Unusual Antique Cars and Motorcycles:

The Lomakov Museum is an interesting excursion for antique automobile enthusiasts. The museum owns nearly 200 cars and motorcycles - some in original condition. Many cars in this collection are the only ones in existence and were used by Russian and European leaders. 45 cars are on display in the museum building, but there are more on display outside. Dress for the weather as the museum building has no heating or air conditioning.

Cars, Lorries, Motorcycles:

Lenin's 1914 Rolls-Royce has been restored and is on display at the Lomakov Museum. You'll also see a variety of antique BMWs, Harley-Davidsons, a Dodge lorrie from 1943, and other automobiles from Germany, France, Russia, and the US.

Antique Autos for Rent or Purchase:

Cars can be rented on an hourly basis for special events. In addition, some cars are for sale. However, if you're interested, find someone who speaks Russian to help facilitate the deal. The owner of the museum speaks English poorly.

Museum Website:

The Antique Automobile and Motorcycle Museum does have a website, but it is poorly translated and the layout is a bit confusing. However, you will see photos of some of the most interesting antique cars and motorcycles, and you'll be able to determine how to rent or purchase vehicles from the museum.
